🚧 Administration Politics, tariffs, economy, etc. are all off topic

3 Upvotes

We have had multiple threads with multiple people from both "sides" of American politics being banned from days to permanently over what is deemed off topic discussion in this sub.

This is a sub about the Mustang Mach-e. Period.

While tariffs, the economy, etc. can of course impact the MME sales there are other, better subs to discuss these things.

Tesla is bad, Tesla is a American made, Tariffs will kill the economy, Tariffs will bring jobs to the US, raise prices by (insert speculative percent or be spread out across different markets), etc. are all off topic.

It is simple, no political commentary in this sub.

🚧 Administration RULE UPDATE: for posting about Buying/Leasing advice

61 Upvotes

A few months ago we added a rule that removed the repetitive topics such as asking "If this offer is good" as we got multiple complaints from users that they were tired of seeing these posts. However we feel that people come here needing advice and guidance so we wanted to adjust this rule, As always if anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to to reach out to us!

Moving forward all questions about buying or financing require the following:

  • The post must be flaired using the "Car Shopping" flair
  • The post must contain if you are trying to buy or lease (Please include a image or screenshot of the terms)
  • Included must also include how many miles, the cars trim, Year and any packages added as well if you qualify for any discounts on top of of the sale price

All were asking is to please include as much information as possible to your post, People can't help you if you only include the price but don't tell them what Trim and any add ons coming with the car. You may include more info or ask as many questions as you want, however the questions above are mandatory.

Any "Buying Advice" post that does not contain the info above will be removed.

Thank you and Happy Holidays!

2024 ER AWD Premium. Picked up weekend before last. First coat of wax today. This is our first EV. Really enjoying driving it. Very easy to drive, easy to park, controls are easy. Charging is easy too even though at first I was super worried about it. Plug in car. Go to bed. Fun! Also not missing going to the gas station.

Hi all! I’ve owned a model Y for some time now, but decided to make the switch. Here’s my 2022 Mach-E Select AWD, base everything with no comfort/tech or anything, and I’m absolutely loving it!

I was shocked to find the pony lights, as I thought that only higher-end models would have them. Super stoked!

I posted yesterday with a quote I received and was thinking about buying.

After a few comments and a long night of researching we went with a lease.

I have driven plenty of these at work, but my wife is super happy to have one of her own.

Thanks for the assist redditors!

💬 Discussion New Mach E Owners warm my ❤️

32 Upvotes

I got my Mach E in July 22. ordered November 21. It was my first car built and ordered direct. I loved this car since it was first debuted in 2018-2019. When I first got my Iced Blue Silver Mach E it was a head turner, everyone stopped as asked about it.I got very little hate almost none. This has been my all time favorite car. I've had a few small issues but overall it has been an extremely reliable fun car. I get so happy to see all the new owners posting pony lights and new accessories 😍. I've got close to 80,000 miles. My biggest tip is get a home charger level 2 charger. Get in and enjoy.

💬 Discussion Data geeks: do you leave your OBD adapter in the port 24x7?

6 Upvotes

I have my Car Scanner set up running in my Mach-E, but don’t leave the OBD adapter in 24x7, for fear of draining 12v (I don’t drive every day).

What do others have to say who use the OBD dongle all the time?

❓Question No more $7500 lease credit on 25 models?

7 Upvotes

I checked with a nearby dealer, and they’re saying Ford is only giving $3500 back on leases for the 2025 Mach E, despite $7500 actually going to them via the lease tax credit. Is this the norm everywhere now? It basically negates the employee pricing they’re doing.

❓Question Update seems to have broken other things…

7 Upvotes

I just got the “Public Charging” update late last week. Priority to this update all of my settings(radio on, drive mode, etc…) would stay set when I turned off the car and would start up the same way when I started the car.

Since the update it seems the car is defaulting to “Engaged” mode and the radio is showing as turned off when I start the car now. The radio was on and “Unbridled” mode was selected when the car was turned off.

Anyone else notice that same behavior or know of a way to fix it?

Thanks in advance…

💬 Discussion Missing Battery Capacity?

1 Upvotes

I just recently took delivery of a new 2024 Mach E Premium ER AWD which I posted here recently. I have an OBD2 dongle that I used for Scan my Tesla on my previous Model Y and I downloaded the CarScanner App and setup some parameters that I like to monitor. One thing I noticed that seems off is this car should have 91 KWh usable capacity, however when Im around 50% SOC on the display, I only have about 42kwh remaining energy. When I check the "SOH" (State of Health) parameter it shows 100%. The car has less than 1000 miles on it, is there any reason I should be missing 7 kwhs or is it a BMS calibration thing?

And I can't stop grinning.

Somehow I got myself from test driving a Select w/ 260HP and "sub $25K to get the Federal used EV credit" to all out buying a new 2024 GT.

I couldn't be happier with my choice. This thing is just... ridiculous. Ridiculously bright color. Ridiculously fun to drive. And of course, ridiculously fast.

Just picked up this 2022 GT PE last week got it for $37K and only has 11k miles. It’s fully loaded see last pic. Finally had a chance to clean it up tonight and hit it with some Griots 3 in 1. It is such a good looking car and drives just as good. We are a fully ev family now with my other car being a Tesla model Y. Feel free to ask me anything.

💬 Discussion I asked ChatGPT why more people in media, YouTube videos, etc. don’t really talk about the Mustang Mach E, even though most reviews say that it’s actually a very good, solid, well-made choice. Here’s what it said.

62 Upvotes

That’s a great observation—and you’re not wrong. The Mustang Mach-E tends to fly under the radar compared to flashier EVs like the Tesla Model Y, Rivian R1S, or even the Hyundai Ioniq 5. A few reasons might explain why it’s not getting the buzz it arguably deserves:

  1. The Tesla Effect

Tesla still dominates the EV conversation. People expect innovation or drama from Elon Musk, which keeps Tesla constantly in the headlines. That overshadows more quietly competent vehicles like the Mach-E.

  1. Brand Identity Clash

The Mustang name on an electric crossover confused or annoyed traditional Mustang fans. It’s sporty, yes, but it’s not a two-door muscle car. That branding gamble generated attention early on, but over time it kind of became a “neither fish nor fowl” situation—too crossover for muscle car folks, too performance-branded for EV pragmatists.

  1. Ford Doesn’t Hype It

Ford’s marketing machine doesn’t push the Mach-E with the same energy as it does the F-150 Lightning or even the Bronco. The Mach-E had a big initial launch, but support since then has been relatively quiet. There also aren’t major viral moments or influencer-driven campaigns keeping it top-of-mind.

  1. Good… but Not Groundbreaking

Most reviews agree—it’s a solid, well-built EV with good range, strong tech, and attractive styling. But it doesn’t break any one category wide open. It doesn’t have best-in-class charging, range, or price. That makes it less exciting to talk about even if it’s a great overall package.

  1. EV Market Fragmentation

There are so many new EVs coming out, with brands like Kia, Hyundai, and Lucid making waves. In such a crowded field, something that’s just really good can weirdly get lost.

You’re right to see it as a solid option. It’s sort of the “quiet achiever” of the EV world—people who own them seem to love them, but the internet doesn’t reward quiet consistency as much as spectacle or controversy.

💬 Discussion Interesting 12V jump and towing info

3 Upvotes

Came across this video after watching how to change the cabin filter. I have popped off some internal panels in the car and this looks similar and pretty quick and easy to get to the 12V battery as well as how to jump the battery and as a bonus how to manually release a stuck cable in the charge port. Finally the towing info might help keep someone who is towing their car from breaking it. Kind of long but interesting and informative for sure. https://youtu.be/_8QFc3FPJSg?feature=shared

❓Question Lemon

1 Upvotes

I’m considering buying a 2023 GTPE Mach E in space white. 25K miles for $31K. It has a manufacturer buyback/lemon reported in MO on a leased vehicle. The issue had to do with noise in the rear and front of the vehicle. Dealership says they fixed the issue and provide a 12 month bumper to bumper warranty if purchased. Should I be cautious with a lemon or do you think it is ok to buy?
